I have a Summit cam and lifters in a fresh 440 and I haven't taken the intake off yet, but I have some serious lifter noise and then it goes away. I'm wonder how hard it is to see if I can fix the lifters.
Regular hydraulic cam.....and if the lifters are wearing correctly with the lobe then I really don't want to change them out if I don't have too.
But it's noisy enough that it is embarrassing.
I haven't every taken lifters apart so I'm interested in knowing what to look for to see if I can fix them.
Thanks in advance.

I'd take em apart, solvent clean them, blow dry, oil them and reassemble keeping everything in order especially as you know lobe/lifter order. I had a 80's /6 w hyd lifters that would get noisy for awhile then get quiet. Psi was good. I just assumed there was a piece of grit in one of them that would move around in the lifter and hang it up on occaision. It was obnoxious but I just tolerated it (a work truck) but I wouldn't in a daily driver

As the OP stated wooden handle check works well. So that its not as messy use some 2 1/2" masking tape and run it around the bottom of the head after you have the valve cover off. This will build a temporary dam keeping the oil off of your exhaust. Drop a shop towel on the manifold side to catch the "flying oil" as it comes off the rockers.
